You can’t go wrong with Muppets, Billy Connolly and Tim Curry, not to mention they stayed fairly true to the original Treasure Island. Yet another great Muppets movie that eventually wore out through years of use and abuse at our hands.

Great movie.SECOND first.Some people get none….I must be god…
One of my all time favorite movies!
This was an epic win before epic wins even existed!!! One of my fave movies!
I’ve got cabin fever !
NOOOOOO now its in my head!!!!
We’ve got cabin fever, we’re flipping our bandanas,
Been at sea so long that we have simply gone bananas!
CABIN FEVER!
“I’ve got cabin fever, I think I’ve lost my grip!”
“I’d like to get my hands on whoever wrote this *SCRIPT!*”
“Si!”
“This once proud vessel has become a floating pyscho ward!”
Epin win. Has Tim Curry ever been sexier??
Why yes he has! I personally enjoyed his awesome sexiness in RHPS.
He was also most excellent in Clue, but not quite as sexy. haha.
Of course, those are my other two fave TC movies, Ma. However, the makeup and fishnets don’t do a thing for me. Pirates, however, do. “When You’re a Professional Pirate” absolutely puts a lump in my throat, the hairs on my arms up, and a couple of things I can’t mention.
I agree with you on the RHPS part. I’ve never watched Clue.
I thought he looked pretty good in Disney’s The 3 Musketeers.
Clueless Morgan: Wait, what was that song that just happened?
Polly: What are you taking about?
Clueless: You know, “Cabin Fever, Ah!”
o/~ “And those buccaneers drowned their sins in rum
The Devil himself would have to call them scum
Every man aboard would have killed his mate
For a bag of guineas or a piece of eight ” o/~
I. LOVE. That song.
Tim Curry has said on the record that this was his favorite role ever.
And what about Big Fat Ugly Bug-Face Baby-Eating O’Brien????
“Clueless Morgan?”
“….Huh?”
Sailing on the big blue wet thinggg!
The first post-Jim-Henson Kermit movie that got the singing voice right. I was aghast at the Kermit singing voice in Christmas Carol… it was soooo…. “normal”. Not Kermit.
I LOVE this movie.
Big Blue Wet Thing, Something Better, and that kinda dark opening song -fish eye no miko- mentioned are at the top of my shower singing list!!!
OK, it’s a great movie, but 13 years ago and it qualifies as nostalgia?
“Pre-2000 qualifies as nostalgic”. It’s on the requirments
This is a great movie!
I love that in the opening scene there is a seriously hunky pirate digging. I wish I knew who he was.
I love this movie so very much. Me and my little brother watch it all the time, it’s nice that he appreciates something made before he was born.
We love it… and I’m not ashamed to say I have the songs on my iTunes…and some on my iPod.haha.
hahah same here. I listen to them all the time, especially when it’s a bad day
“I believe they prefer Visually Challenged Fiend.”
“The man is a raging tornado, tormented by inner demons tjhe likes of a mere mortal could not fathom!”
hi ho everyone!
*giggle snort*
Love love love this movie. The running gag of the tourist rats, omg.
SO GREAT. I love that they visited “The set of MTI” while the movie was going on… and then scuba diving at the end…. so great.
This seems a little to specific to be Nostalgic Win.
Have they already run out of things?
“How does she DO that?”
HAHAHA This is one of my favorites ever… ENDLESS quotability and yes, I destroyed the tape by playing it so many times.
“Dead Tom’s dead! Long John SHOT HIM!”
“But, Dead Tom’s always been dead. That’s why he’s called ‘Dead Tom’”
“Talking parrots? That’s rich! What’s next, a singing, dancing mouse with his own amusement park? AAAHAHA”
sigh… classic.
Roast suckling… potato!
omygod my mom makes us roast suckling potatoes at least once a week. this movie is my life!!! everyonce in a while my sister and i start quoting the hell out of it until we run out of quotes and ppl start staring. TO THE NORTH WEST DIRTY DISHES!!!!
~its all good fun til somebody loses an AAAAAAAHHHHH….
~uh guys… WERE STANDING IN A ROOM WITH A DEAD GUY!!!
This is probably my favorite movie ever.
My favorite line is when Gozno is commenting on the starfish in his pants…and Rizzo says, “You and your hobbies”
I NEED to get this movie on DVD-I have 2 copies of it on VHS tape…
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0309600/
How many of us guessed that our little “Jim Hawkins” grows up to play a gay page-turner?
“We’ve got cabin fe-VER…..” bwaha good times
Would you believe I watched this today?!
Muppets = win.
Muppets + Billy Connoly = Epic-ness
Muppets + Billy Connoly + Tim Curry = EPIC WIN!
If I had a life, I’d hate it XD
damn i love this movie. as a kid, i had a huge crush on jim. then i realized he was practically a girl.
i loved mr. bimbo, the man who lived in fozzie’s thumb.
First movie I saw in theaters…
I had to sit in the front row and crane my neck up the entire movie to see. Never sat in the front row ever again.
